The Grid Podcast #1: Twitter vs. talk radio, left vs. right

BY: David Topping

It’s the inaugural episode of The Grid Podcast! This week, I talk to senior editor Edward Keenan, who wrote our March 29 cover story about two groups of people who pay attention to City Hall but never really talk to one-another: AM talk-radio hosts and their listeners, and Twitter users and their followers. If you’re not listening to talk radio, what are you missing? What’s Twitter got that talk radio doesn’t? And how can Toronto’s LRT-loving progressives hope to change the hearts and minds of average subway-loving Joes from Scarborough?

Listen below, or get the MP3 right here, to find out. Want to make sure you don’t miss the next podcast? Subscribe to it via RSS.

Music featured in this episode: “Stuck In The Middle” by Toronto’s own The Elwins. The podcast is produced and edited by David Topping.

That’s the plan, yeah! You might have to put up with a few weeks of SoundCloud streams and MP3s for now, though.
